VICTORIAN MODERN (HB)

A fifth of the UK’s population lives in a Victorian home - which means adapting period features to a contemporary lifestyle is always on-trend and a creative challenge. This book addresses aspects of home life including dining, cooking, entertaining, sleeping, bathing, working and transitional spaces such as hallways, boot rooms and garden rooms, explaining how the Victorians designed and decorated their homes, before moving on to modern interpretations. Sprinkled throughout are practical decorating tips and information on the origins of the architectural features of the period.
